പ്രവർത്തന നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ

This squeegee is designed for hand application of various materials, including graphic films, vinyl wraps, and premasking tapes. Its flexibility and durability make it suitable for a range of surfaces.

General Application Steps:

1. ഉപരിതലം തയ്യാറാക്കുക: Ensure the application surface is clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or other contaminants.
2. മെറ്റീരിയൽ സ്ഥാപിക്കുക: Carefully place the film or premask onto the desired area, ensuring proper alignment.
3. സമ്മർദ്ദം ചെലുത്തുക: Hold the squeegee firmly and apply even, consistent pressure across the material, working from the center outwards or from one edge to the opposite. This helps to remove air bubbles and ensure proper adhesion.
4. Conform to Contours: For lightly textured surfaces like FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic), the softer edge of the PA1-G Gold squeegee helps the graphic film conform smoothly. Apply gentle, controlled pressure to work the material into the texture.
5. Overlap Strokes: Overlap each squeegee stroke slightly to ensure complete coverage and prevent missed areas.
6. പരിശോധിക്കുക: After application, inspect the surface for any remaining air bubbles or imperfections. Re-squeegee as needed.

For optimal results, use the squeegee with a 3M low friction sleeve SA-1 if additional glide or surface protection is required.
